    great guns. poor investments in mho. too many made. look at some of the small numbered guns less that 500. winchester, ruger, smith, colt. i think will work better. good luck,

    I WOULD RATHER BE DUCK HUNTING.

    if kerry gets eleted almost any gun will be a good investment

    the thing that scares me is that we could be living in someone else's own reality

    If you are serious about investing then Buy a Kemen Shotgun.

    I think the AR and AK style rifles might be a good investment, especially with the ban gone for the moment. When the next ban comes, we might not get any more new rifles of this type. Not if a ban happens, but when. Then the price will go up quickly(in my opinion).

    I just don't see any current new shotgun as being a good "investment" to be kept NIB and put away. At least not any in a reasonable (<$2000) range. Barring any future 'bans', the dollar appreciation will probably be minimal for our generation. Older quality American doubles like the Parkers, Winchester 21s, Smiths, etc., I think will continue to appreciate at a decent rate. The smaller the gauge and the higher the grade the more value way down the road.

    Hmm...Well you could hunt down a Remington 600 in .223 caliber.
    There's one being offered for bid over at another site.
    And it aint cheap.

    Just speculating here, maybe a Browning A-5, classic shotgun that was recently discontinued, a Belgium made model.

    Being a lover of shotguns,I found out recently that they are not,I repeat not, good investment material. For one thing they require too much room to store,especially in original boxes,will take at the least twenty years or some wierd occurance to increase the value.Plus there are so many shotguns for sale,just look in any pawn shop or gun store,millions abound. If you want shotguns to save follow advice from punchie. Best to buy OLD Colts and S&Ws. When I say old,nothing newer than pre WW II...With that said,one thing that is very important CONDITION..New in Box,not worth the trouble.BUT the best condition you can find that won't be hurt if you want to shoot them once or twice.I'd rather have a picture than a NEWinBOX gun.A lot less trouble and usually prettier.
    A lot to be said about collecting,you must make the final say. Just make it something YOU love as you will spend YEARS with your decision.Good luck.modoc
